Book Review – Detective Kids

Published

on

Krishang Saharia

Detective, we resonate with someone who is a diligent undercover, enigmatic private or presumably sharp. Holding power to serenely dissect and scrutinise everything around. The more complex the game is to be solved, the more excitement it ensues for them. Krishang Saharia, a thirteen-year-old boy, catapulted children into detectives titled ‘Detective Kids’, which fluidly can get hold of the minds.

Embroidered with mystery and thrill, the ‘Detective Kids’ hurls through solving two events, ‘Strange Sound in the Moors’ and ‘Adventure of Mount Villa’. The former complements/adjuncts the scene at the camping site, which is more in action, with incidents falling in time. Raising inquisitiveness about what to happen next, how they reunite with their lost cousin Gandiel and unleash the kidnappers. The latter questions the concept of ‘Trust’. Befriending Robert, his engagement in unethical doings drives kids to uncover the delinquency.

‘Detective Kids’ is a well-thought and articulated testimony of a young author’s mind balancing the elements of adventure. The plot is fast-moving and gripping, characterisation is increasingly subjective and individualised, and the climax is nonetheless sensational.

The cover page is set in the camp with kids revelling, and Bruno, the pup self-energising, sets the tone and matches the vibrancy of crayon strokes. As the saying goes, seldom you will find anyone who is not interested in the work of a detective. Yes, the author with his book connects with the readers mysteriously.

Walkathon on World Mental Health Day: “Zero Net Hour – Being Mindful”

Published

on

World Mental Health Day, observed globally on October 10, was established to raise awareness about mental health issues and to mobilise collective efforts in support of mental well-being. The day serves as a powerful reminder to challenge stigma, promote resilience, and unite people across the world in advancing mental health for all.

In alignment with this vision, Ojass Takhte Trust has launched the project “Mindfulness: The Real Me vs. The Screen Me – Understanding Our Digital Selves”, designed for children, youth, and communities.

In India today, millions of children and young people are facing the consequences of excessive screen and social media use. Studies show that children under five spend an average of 2.2 hours daily on screens—double the recommended safe limit—while even infants under two years are exposed for over an hour daily, despite guidelines advising zero screen time. Among older children and adolescents, screen dependence is even more pronounced, with many spending up to seven hours a day on social media, gaming, and smartphones.

This overexposure has serious implications—physically, it contributes to obesity, eye strain, and sleep disruption; psychologically, it delays cognitive and language development in younger children and increases risks of anxiety, depression, attention problems, and digital addiction among youth. The urgent need is for parents, educators, and policymakers to establish balanced screen-time practices, encourage outdoor and offline engagement, and create environments that nurture holistic well-being in the digital age.

To mark World Mental Health Day, Ojass Takhte Trust organized a Walkathon in Palam Vihar, Gurugram, to spread awareness on the theme “Zero Net Hour – Being Mindful.”

The event was flagged off by Shri Pardeep Kumar (Padam), Councillor, Ward 4, Gurugram, and witnessed enthusiastic participation from youth volunteers of The NorthCap University, representing Gen Z—the responsible citizens and changemakers of tomorrow.

Carrying banners and posters with powerful messages, the volunteers walked to inspire people to disconnect from screens and reconnect with the real world, promoting mindfulness, balance, and better mental health.
